Designed for a Smooth Upholstery Finish

The slight stretch in the material allows it to move and shape around suitable curves and corners. This helps reduce loose areas and makes it easier to achieve a smooth, fitted appearance.

The fabric can be cut, sewn or glued using tools and products appropriate for PVC upholstery materials. Always test your chosen adhesive, thread, needle and method on a spare piece before beginning the finished project.

Important Information

  • This is a faux leatherette PVC upholstery material and is not genuine animal leather.
  • Please select your required colour carefully before completing your order.
  • Screen settings and lighting conditions may cause the displayed colour to vary slightly from the material received.
  • Slight stretch means the material can shape around suitable curves, but it is not an elastic or highly stretchable fabric.
  • Waterproof describes the PVC material surface. The water resistance of a finished item will also depend on its seams, stitching, edges and construction.
  • Fire retardant does not mean fireproof. Keep the material away from open flames and direct sources of excessive heat.
  • For commercial, contract, marine or vehicle use, the buyer is responsible for confirming that the specification meets the requirements of the intended application.
  • Measure carefully before cutting, as material that has been cut or altered may not be suitable for return.
